ART + TECH: Exploring Neoconceptual Art
Welcome to Art+Tech: Exploring Neoconceptual Art, the 2023 programme led by acclaimed artist Nujoom Alghanem. This year, we are thrilled to offer 21 talented students from across 6 universities, a transformative experience from June 15th to November 14th. Through nine mentoring sessions and three workshops, participants will delve into the realms of art and technology. They will explore phenomena, conduct research on weather methodologies, and create art concepts derived from scientific studies. Capturing the essence of Al-Ain Oasis, participants will collaborate across groups, culminating in the creation of remarkable artworks exhibited in celebration of their successful contributions. Join us for a journey of artistic exploration and personal growth!
